A Few Current Projects

Developmental editing for a poet who was in Camp Minidoka, a World War II American internment camp for Americans of Japanese ancestry. We are editing, ordering and arranging her poems of witness.

Working as a dramaturge for composer Richard Peaslee on his libretto of Moby Dick.

Serving as a writing coach for a woman who was a child during the Blitz in London and who was separated from her parents and relocated several times.

Being a writing mentor for two twelve-year-old writers.

Creating a comic website for the "overparenting" generation. I am the poet in a trio with a psychologist and a geographer who study, observe and celebrate the lives of children and parents from different perspectives. Together, we’ve been exploring how today’s American children have fewer opportunities to play in non-governed spaces and non-consumerist atmospheres. By describing ourselves and others caught up in these trends, we hope to raise questions, incite conversations, and inspire change. See: topthisparenting dot com.
